October 20 Presentation to Focus on Managing Remote Operations Teams
NEW YORK, NY, October 6, 2015 – Opti9, a leading provider of Cloud Hosting, Colocation and Managed solutions, today announces that its Operations Manager, Michael Ohayon, is speaking at the Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology’s 12th International Conference and Expo on Emerging Technologies for a Smarter World (CEWIT2015), to be held October 19-20, 2015 at the Melville Marriott Long Island in Melville, New York. Mr. Ohayon will give a presentation titled “Managing Remote Operations Teams” on October 20 at 10:45 AM, which will offer an insider’s perspective into the challenges and best practices of successful corporate leadership over virtual operations teams.
Virtual teams are groups of individuals who work across time, space and organizational boundaries and who interact and collaborate primarily through electronic communications. Organizations, especially enterprises, use virtual teams in different locations because their work is taking on a more global focus, and because using remote workers allows them to expand the available talent pool, particularly when specialized skill sets are required. As global business operations become the norm, even as collaborative platforms and ubiquitous connectivity continue to become more technologically advanced, widespread utilization of remote teams has become increasingly accepted, but comes with its own set unique set of challenges. Mr. Ohayon’s presentation will assist managers and executives in understanding successful approaches to accommodate this new style of virtualized management by leveraging real-life examples and case studies. Topics will include effective training and integration of these teams into the corporate structure, as well as customer relations and proper vetting of external teams.
“Remote operations teams bring a host of advantages to the enterprise and medium-sized business organization, including increased productivity and creativity, enhanced cross-departmental collaboration, and lowered expenditures associated with reduced travel and office space,” states Michael Ohayon. “Opti9, with facilities and teams spread over three continents and four cities, has become an expert in managing remote personnel from a centralized headquarters. CEWIT2015 presents an excellent opportunity for us to share our knowledge and experience in order to assist organizational leaders to use virtual teams to achieve successful business outcomes while minimizing the inherent challenges.”
CEWIT2015 is the premier international forum on the applications of emerging technologies in infrastructure, healthcare and energy, which are three of the most critical components of a smarter global environment. 600 attendees from 15 countries are expected, including representatives from over 140 companies in various sectors, such as management solutions, software development, social media, communications and devices, networks, security, healthcare, biomedical, Big Data and other IT applications.
